Once when The King Akbar
Heard the news of a poor merchant,
Who got robbed by great amounts
Solving it was something other can't.

So the Merchant told Birbal
"The stuff was extremely precious."
While he also informed him that,
"My five servants are very suspicious?"

All those servants were called
As expected they all refused,
So Birbal tried another way
The servants were all confused.

He distributed a stick to each of them
All of them of equal size,
"The thief's stick will grow overnight."
All the servants got surprised.

Tomorrow when they gathered
Instead of one stick long,
One of the sticks became shorter

The theif was not that strong.

He was arrested and the money
Was given back to the man,
Akbar asked, "What happened?"
"How did you solved it again?"

"I did nothing the thief himself
In fear cut his stick,
'Cause he believed it grew longer
My lord, that was my trick."

So that's how 'The Clever Birbal'
Proved himself the smartest of all,
And with his great skills, he won
The hearts of the crowd in the hall.
